Proud grandson opens gallery to showcase works by Tony Sisti

By: Lauren D'Avolio

Ron LaRocque recently opened Sisti Gallery North to honor his grandfather, an artist who founded the Allentown Art Festival about six decades ago. To house his gallery, LaRoque built a mini plaza at 6535 Campbell Boulevard, about 10 houses from where he lives. Dulce Salon is a tenant and another space is available, if and when the "right" prospective tenant comes along, according to LaRoque.

“We’ve had a lot of interest, but we’re sort of fussy about who goes in that second spot,” he said. “We’re looking for maybe a bakery/coffee shop type thing. Or maybe another artist. The plaza really is about the art gallery and the exhibits, LaRocque said; the commercial aspect is secondary.
